Oregon Business News

I try to keep this blog focused on national and global discussions, but I know many readers are my friends here in Oregon who will benefit from a new web site: Oregon Biz Report.  They will be republishing some of my blog posts, but they have lots of other good news, too.

Labor Shortage or Surplus Article Featured in "The Issue"

Our recent blog post about the Jamaicans of Mackinac Island was featured on an interesting new web site, TheIssue.com.  The site is intriguing: it's laid out like an on-line newspaper, but all of the items are blog posts.  The site starts with an issue of the day, then moves to the typical sections of a newspaper:  U.S., World, Business, Science & Health, etc.  (But surprisingly no sports.)

I still use blogsearch.google.com when I want to know what the bloggers are saying on a specific topic, but TheIssue is a good way to browse.  The function of a newspaper in the Internet era is not to provide specific stories--they are all over the place--but to add a layer of judgment about what's interesting or useful.  TheIssue does that.  It will be fun to watch it.

Top 100 Economics Blogs

The web site CurrencyTrading.net has just released a list of the top 100 economics blogs.  No surprise, I hope to find Businomics in there.  It's not a ranking, just an alphabetical listing within categories.  But if they had narrowed it down to top 10, don't you think we'd be there too?
